I am not a fan of turkey. It's ok...but I much prefer ham for holiday meals. Growing up, though, we always had turkey for Thanksgiving. While I didn't much care for a slice of the 20 lb bird, I did love what my mother and grandmother did with the leftover meat. They turned it into turkey fricassee, which I love.

My family is not big on keeping recipes secret so below you can follow the recipe we used growing up. 

Ingredients:

• Shredded Turkey
• Chicken/Turkey Broth
• Salt
• Pepper
• Finely Chopped Celery
• Chopped Onion
• Peas, carrots, or other vegetables (optional)
• Flour 

Add shredded meat and broth (enough to make a soup) into a crock pot. Add in celery, vegetables, and spices. 

Cook on low for 4-5 hours.

Once your meal has cooked, add a bit of flour to thicken your fricassee. Serve when cooled to your preference.
